The oldest shrine in the castle town, dedicated to the god of the sea
This is the tutelary shrine of the Shiroshima area, and enshrines Owatatsumi-no-kami (the god of the sea). It is said to have been enshrined here during the Nara period, and is considered to be the oldest shrine in the castle town. At the time, this area was by the sea, and passing ships would drop anchor here, so it came to be called Ikari Shrine.
